Big Tobacco to pay big money A stunning settlement reached between the government and tobacco companies was greeted by Jan Graham with open arms. SALT LAKE CITY (AP)-Utah Attorney General Jan Graham says a $360 billion settlement agreement reached by anti-smoking forces and tobacco companies last Friday will help protect Utah children. Graham called the settlement "a landmark agreement for generations of children.'This agreement means we begin today reforms that would have waited decades to achieve," she said. "We will start now getting our kids away from tobacco for good."

This month, Utah State Supreme Court rejects Utah's bid to hear strict anti-abortion law Utah's stringentanti-abortion law fizzled into history just as its bitter opponents predicted it would six years ago. By Mike Carter of the Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY - The demise of Utah's stringent 1991 anti-abortion law came down almost exactly as its opponents scripted it six years ago: the state spent $1 million to defend a law the U.S. Supreme Court would never even consider. Indeed, Monday's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court not to consider the state's appeal over the law made the naysayers in the Utah Legislature and elsewhere seem particularly prescient."I didn't know I was that smart," said Frances Farley, who in 1991 was the only woman in the Utah Senate and a strident opponent of the measure. The GOP-dominated Legislature, working with then-Gov. Norm Bangerter, ignored the Democrat Farley's warnings of a long, expensive and futile legal battle. are already pending in court are not expected to be affected, unless those people chose to join the settlement.

It also primed a simmering feud between Bangerter and former Utah Attorney General Paul Van Dam, a pro-choice Democrat whom the governor didn't trust to defend the law. And, there was little question from the start that it would need defending.

U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Greene struck down those provisions for abortions prior to 20 weeks gestation, but ruled they could be applied in abortions after that gestational cutoff. Last year, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver struck down Greene's ruling. The appeals court said the Legislature had sought to impose "an insurmountable obstacle in the path of a woman seeking a nontherapeu-tic abortion on a nonviable fetus after 20 weeks. "It therefore imposes an unconstitutional burden on her right to choose," the appeals court ruled. The law, however, seemed star-crossed almost from the beginning.

I could see Clinton's honest face in my imagination, looking at me real sad 'cause I had broken the law." As you can see, sometimes a simple reminder is all our malefactors need. Those who criticized Clinton for this new gun law are showing their lack of faith in the moral fabric of our society, they're saying that we can't live responsible lives with rules as guides. However, if they're right, then we need to take far stronger measures to prevent crimes - like sending criminals to prison or something. But that would be a terrible shame, especially after Clinton has shown so much faith in us. We wouldn't want to disappoint him.
